I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, my name is Gwen, and I’m excited to help you open the doors to your dream home! As a loan officer at our Memphis, TN branch, I’m proud to guide you through the homebuying process at America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender.
I began my career as a lender in 1998, working in banking retail mortgage. Helping people purchase homes to give their children more stability, build better communities, and improve lives is why I love what I do. I believe in open communication, flexibility, and accessibility for my clients and partners. From our first conversation to closing and beyond, I’m dedicated to providing a smooth homebuying transaction.
Whether you’re buying your first home or your next home, I’ll work tirelessly to solve any problem and find the right loan for your needs. I offer government lending solutions, including FHA, VA, and USDA loans, and have helped many families move into their dream homes.
On a personal note, my family is my number one priority, and I have nine dogs who love a good game of fetch!

Frequently asked questions
-
Refinancing costs typically range from 2% to 6% of the loan amount and include fees such as appraisal, title insurance, and closing costs. Factors like your loan type, location, and credit score can significantly impact these expenses. Our team can help to provide strategies that can help minimize costs.
-
To determine how much home you can afford, you’ll want to assess your financial situation. This includes your income, expenses, and debt-to-income ratio, to ensure your mortgage fits comfortably within your budget. A general guideline is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debt.
-
A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.
-
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. HELOCs function like a credit card, giving access to funds up to a set limit, which can be used for expenses like renovations or debt consolidation. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, and the repayment terms typically include a draw period followed by a repayment period.

To calculate your mortgage payments, start with your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Your payment will depend on the interest charged over time and the repayment schedule. You can use a monthly mortgage payment calculator or connect with us to learn more.
